(ESC)

 R/C system. 

 

THIS NEW SYSTEM CAN USE ANY DSM2 R/C WITH 4 OR MORE CHANNELS. 

 

THE 

RCS 

#

 ALPHA-

3-CO

 

SYSTEM IS IN ONE PART.  THERE IS A BUILT IN 2.4 Ghz RX.  

SERVO LEADS ARE NOT NEEDED. 

 

THE

 #

 ALPHA-

3-CO

 

IS A REPROGRAMMED DELTANG R/C Rx65-2.   

THE SYSTEM IS READY TO USE AS IS, ONCE THE RX IS “BOUND” TO THE TX. 

THE 

#

 ALPHA-

3-CO

 

USES A “CENTRE OFF” CONTROL WHICH CAN BE CHANGED TO “LOW OFF”. 

THIS IS ONE OF THE MANY FEATURES WITHIN THE SYSTEM WHICH CAN BE RE-PROGRAMMED.   

USERS CONTEMPLATING ALTERING THE OPERATING CHARACTERISTICTS SHOULD THOROUGHLY 

READ UP ON HOW TO DO SO

IF YOU MESS IT UP WE CAN FIX IT FOR THE COST OF POSTAGE.

 

 

DO NOT CONNECT TO MAINS POWER (110 – 240V AC). 

 

THE

 #

 ALPHA-

3-CO

 

CAN BE USED WITH BATTERY POWER ONLY. 

THEY HAVE CONSTANT BRIGHTNESS DIRECTIONAL LIGHTS & 2 x SOUND TRIGGERS. 

 

USE 5v – 18v 

ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM

 FOR THE

 #

 ALPHA

-3-CO

.   

TAKE INTO ACCOUNT FULLY CHARGED BATTERIES CAN & DO EXCEED THE 

NOMINAL

 VOLTAGE. 

VOLTAGE DROP FROM IN – OUT IS ABOUT ½ A VOLT UNDER A LIGHT LOAD. 

 

We tested this system three times during manufacture.  It was working normally when it left the factory. 

If damage in transit has occurred, please return to place of purchase for attention. 

 

THIS ESC IS GUARANTEED FOR ONE YEAR. 

 

You will supply the DSM2 2.4 Ghz 4 channel (or more) Digital Proportional R/C TX handpiece. 

You will also supply a locomotive or trail car, the 5 – 18 volt traction batteries, a fuse, 

ON-OFF switch and wires where necessary, to connect the ESC to the battery and motor(s). 

Where soldering is necessary, we recommend a low wattage soldering iron and resin core solder. 

 

WE SUGGEST YOU MARK THE TX TO IDENTIFY THE OPERATOR.
